Sometimes all you need to see is an example. Résumé writing is difficult; make it easy by checking out our examples. Whether it is a formatting issue, wording, or organization, these examples may help improve your résumé.

Writing "resume" or "résumé" with or without the accents is perfectly acceptable. In French, résumé means "summary." If you want to add those funny little accents to the word, here's how:

3. Type 130 on your 10 key keypad

MassHire Lowell Career Center offers up to 25 webinars a month. Topics include Résumé Writing, Interviewing, LinkedIn, and more. 

MassHire Programs & Services are funded in full by US Department of Labor (USDOL) Employment and Training Administration grants. Additional details furnished upon request.
